Question

Eli pulls a letter tile from a bag that contains one of each letter of the alphabet. Match each description of the tile with its probability.
1. a letter in his name or a consonant (Assume vowels are A, E, I, O, and U.)
2. a letter in his name
3. a letter in his name or S
4. a vowel in his name

A. 3/26
B. 2/13
C. 1/13
D. 23/26

Answer 1

for the second one notice that time Eli had three letters in his name, in addition there are only 26 letter in the bad, which means no repition, thus the probability that Eli pulls a letter in his name is 3.26

Answer 2

2. = A
3 = B
4. = C
1. = D

Answer 3

For the first one, all the consonants are involved minus the vowels, that means that there are 21 letter in play, plus the I in Eli's name, thus we have the probablity of this being 22/26 which simplifies to 11/13
